The Department of Educational Psychology is dedicated to understanding psychological processes that support learning and the application of principles of psychology to classroom instruction. The department offers a Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology, an Education Specialist degree in School Psychology, and two Ph.D. programs.
The Master of Science degree in Educational Psychology is designed for the student seeking advanced studies in psychological foundations with the opportunity for specialized study in appropriate areas of interest, including the practice of instruction. The Education Specialist degree in School Psychology prepares professional school psychologists. This degree requires a minimum of 66 graduate semester credits, enables the student to practice as a school psychologist in Nevada, and provides preparation for national certification. This Ed.S., approved by the National Association of School Psychologists, integrates theory and research to applied skills for working in schools and other agencies.
The Ph.D. in Learning and Technology is designed to enable students to become independent scholars, who are able to make significant contributions to knowledge in the discipline of educational psychology and the field of educational technology. The Ph.D. in Educational Psychology prepares independent scholars to make significant contributions to knowledge in specialized areas of educational psychology. Students complete a core of research and learning theory courses, a specialization strand, and an emphasis area. Specialization strands within this Ph.D.are available in foundations (assessment, program evaluation, research, and learning in school domains), school counselor education, and school psychology. The department welcomes applications from individuals interested in doctoral studies in specializations in the science of Educational Psychology. Information ois available on the website.
